Jules Verne ATV launch approaching 11 February 2008 will carry up to 9 tonnes of cargo to the station as it orbits 400 km above the Earth. Equipped with its own propulsion and navigation systems, the ATV is a multi-functional spacecraft, combining the fully automatic capabilities of an unmanned vehicle with the safety requirements of a crewed vehicle . Its mission in space will resemble that, on the ground, of a truck (the ATV) delivering goods and services to a research establishment (the space station). A new-generation high-precision navigation system will guide the ATV on a rendezvous trajectory towards the station. In early April, Jules Verne will automatically dock with the station’s Russian Preview of the maiden launch and docking of ESA's Jules Verne ATV.

Pete Aldridge Well, Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Welcome to the Fifth and Final Public Hearing of the President’S Commission on Moon, Mars, and Beyond
The President’s Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy PUBLIC HEARING Asia Society 725 Park Avenue New York, NY Monday, May 3, and Tuesday, May 4, 2004 Pete Aldridge Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the fifth and final public hearing of the President’s Commission on Moon, Mars, and Beyond. I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that the time period since this Commission was appointed and asked to produce a report has elapsed at the speed of light. At least it seems that way. Since February, we’ve heard testimonies from a broad range of space experts, the Mars rovers have won an expanded audience of space enthusiasts, and a renewed interest in space science has surfaced, calling for a new generation of space educators. In less than a month, we will present our findings to the White House. The Commission is here to explore ways to achieve the President’s vision of going back to the Moon and on to Mars and beyond. We have listened and talked to experts at four previous hearings—in Washington, D.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia; and San Francisco, California—and talked among ourselves and we realize that this vision produces a focus not just for NASA but a focus that can revitalize US space capability and have a significant impact on our nation’s industrial base, and academia, and the quality of life for all Americans. As you can see from our agenda, we’re talking with those experts from many, many disciplines, including those outside the traditional aerospace arena.

A Launch for the International Space Station
A launch for the International Space Station For its first mission of the year, Arianespace will launch the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), dubbed “Jules Verne”, for the European Space Agency (ESA). Right from this first launch, the ATV will play a vital role in bringing supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Weighing more than 20 tons, this will be by far the heaviest payload ever launched by Ariane 5. An Ariane 5 ES will inject the Jules Verne ATV into a circular orbit at an altitude of 260 kilometers, inclined 51.6 degre e s . With this launch, Ariane 5 further expands its array of missions, ranging fro m scientific spacecraft in special orbits to commercial launches into geostationary orbit. The ATV is designed to bring supplies to the ISS (water, air, food, propellants for the Russian section, spare parts, experimental hard w a re, etc.), and to reboost the ISS into its nominal orbit. The ISS now weighs more than 240 metric tons, including the recently attached European labora t o r y, Columbus. After being docked to the ISS for up to six months, the ATV will be loaded with waste items by the astronauts, and sent back down. After separating from the launch vehicle, the ATV will be autonomous, using its own systems for energy (batteries and four large solar panels) and guidance (GPS, star t racker), in liaison with the control center in Toulouse. During final approach, an optical navigation system will guide the ATV to its rendezvous with the Space Station, w h e re it will automatically dock several days after launch.

The European Columbus Space Laboratory Set to Reach ISS 3 December 2007
The European Columbus space laboratory set to reach ISS 3 December 2007 cornerstone of Europe’s contribution to this international endeavour. Once Columbus is launched, assembled to the Space Station and verified, ESA will become an active partner in the operations and utilization of mankind’s only permanent outpost in space. As the first European laboratory devoted to long- term research in space, Columbus will further expand the science capabilities of the ISS. In its interior, the Columbus laboratory will provide accommodation for experiments in the field of multidisciplinary research into biology, physiology, material science, fluid physics, technology, life science and education. In addition, its external payload facility hosts experiments and applications The Columbus laboratory is ESA's biggest contribution in the field of space science, Earth observation and to the International Space Station (ISS). Delivered to technology. ESA by EADS SPACE Transportation on 2 May 2006, this laboratory will provide internal payload Columbus will be transported into Earth orbit in the accommodation for various scientific experiments.

Statement by EADS Astrium, Represented by Dr
05 August 2009 The Review of U. S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee Statement by EADS Astrium, represented by Dr. Mark Kinnersley Director of Business Development Orbital System and Exploration Division EADS ASTRIUM Space Transportation Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, On behalf of EADS Astrium, I would like to express our appreciation for the opportunity to contribute to the work of the Committee as it reviews the future of U.S. Human Spaceflight. EADS Astrium is encouraged by the serious interest shown by this Committee, and by the Obama Administration, in expanding U.S. - European cooperative partnerships within the field of human spaceflight. As your charter alludes, the ability to develop and sustain a robust U.S. human spaceflight program requires leveraging all available alternatives capable of providing efficiencies toward affordability, risk and schedule. We at EADS Astrium are confident that we can provide a great benefit to NASA and the U.S. taxpayer thanks to our expertise in the following three areas: • Automatic Transfer Vehicle (ATV): EADS Astrium can offer additional ATV mission services to supply the International Space Station in cooperation with U.S. industry. In particular, ATVs can be used to plug the potential logistics gap to the ISS after Shuttle retirement. • Industrialization: EADS Astrium's expertise gained over many years as the Industrial Operator for Europe's ISS activities could further enable international operational programs to achieve reliable, yet cost-efficient, industrial services. • Future Exploration Programs: EADS Astrium could provide significant key building blocks in a joint international human and robotic space exploration. EADS Astrium is a multinational company that lives and breathes international programs.
